Sorry but I disagree - personal taste.

When at my meet last year I looked at the pipes on Grahams bike. He said that the pipes were not joined to make the pipes "Balanced"
He noticed no difference in performance.
He did say that the exhausts may be a little louder.
I think they look nice too.

The Fut Fut is running a twin pipe system. We're talking about a single pipe system and the added pipes aren't for balancing.

I am looking at the twin pipe mod on the futura andy. But would it really matter if there was a balance box? As long as the mid pipes were the same length?

Why re-invent the wheel? Get, or copy, an H-pipe.

Mart.
Good to hear from you mate.
You should know that H-pipes are like hens teeth.
How can we get a copy (unless someone has the blueprints?)?
I'm thinking of straight thru pipes to replace the rear section, with the brackets/mounts for the rear plate and side panels etc.
What do you think?

I think there's one on Mart's bike. I know where it is, I'll bring a hammer you bring tea and sandwiches.
